Oh Woah, one of these?
Two lines of the song are sung by the inmate Murphy in the 1992 film Alien 3 immediately prior to his death. Brief snippets are played in “The Time Is Now”, the second-season finale of the TV show Millennium, which depicts an apocalyptic event. The song was rewritten and used as the introductory theme for the 2000 TV series Cleopatra 2525. In 2010, it was parodied as “In the Year 252525” in the seventh episode of Futurama’s sixth season, “The Late Philip J. Fry”, as Fry, Professor Farnsworth and Bender travel forwards through time to find a period in which the backwards time machine has been invented.[18] The song acts as an aesthetic theme to the film Gentlemen Broncos.[19] The BBC Radio series 2525, a sketch show set in the year 2525, featured a cover of the song with its first lyric as its introductory theme.
Scene from Futurama:
Louis-Dreyfus’ interview with Kara Swisher followed her profile in The New York Times from earlier this month in which she made headlines for saying it’s a “red flag” when comedians complain about political correctness. While she never mentioned her “Seinfeld” co-star Jerry Seinfeld by name, her interview was published soon after he went viral for blaming the “extreme left and P.C. culture” for killing TV comedy because “people [are now] worrying so much about offending other people.”
“To have an antenna about sensitivities is not a bad thing,” Louis-Dreyfus told The Times. “It doesn’t mean that all comedy goes out the window as a result. When I hear people starting to complain about political correctness — and I understand why people might push back on it — but to me that’s a red flag, because it sometimes means something else.”
I’ve been working my way through ‘The Orville’, and I really like it so far!
I’m open to recommendations for other Star Trek content
Guess it is time to watch Ex Machina. It has slipped past me till now

That was amazing
I was going based on the sidebar
This looks good, thank you. I will give it a try!
Ideally it would give public links too, such as Youtube
Another line that I found impactful was the medic:
Triage dies down when the dead stay dead. When we first set up and the injured started flooding in, bad things happened. Everyone wants to be a survivor, but when you actually see one fresh off the belt… a survivor is the last thing that I’d want to be
How is Charles alive? I didn’t see the original show
I enjoyed it! I got spoiled from reading a news article, but only for the first half of the show.
It was a cool concept and it did some new things. The plot felt a bit like a YA novel though
Faster than light + Tokyo Vice
So a spaceship full of journalists are trying to escape a fleet of Yakuza so that they can report on a breaking story. Gameplay includes making/breaking ties with factions of Yakuza and reporting on smaller stories along the way. Featuring Ansel Elgort and Ken Watanabe
I’d play it
I haven’t popped into one of these threads before, so I have a few
I watched Mid90s (2018) and it was much better than I expected. I came into it knowing that it had a solid 90s soundtrack, which was true, but it went beyond that with an insightful coming of age story and an amazing cast. It felt very real, which was the intent with the creator
Mid90s (stylized as mid90s) is a 2018 American coming-of-age comedy-drama film written and directed by Jonah Hill, in his feature directorial debut, inspired by Hill’s own childhood in the mid-1990s.
I also saw Hot Rod (2007) recently. I enjoyed it, and I can’t describe it better than the Wikipedia description:
Hot Rod is a 2007 American comedy film directed by Akiva Schaffer (in his directorial debut) and written by Pam Brady. The film stars Andy Samberg as amateur accident-prone stuntman Rod Kimble, whose stepfather, Frank (Ian McShane), continuously mocks and disrespects him. When Frank becomes ill, Rod raises money for his heart operation by executing his largest stunt yet. The film also stars Jorma Taccone, Sissy Spacek, Will Arnett, Danny McBride, Isla Fisher and Bill Hader.
I also tried She Hate Me (2004), and I did not finish it. It was bad.
I actually haven’t seen the one in the screenshots, is it this one?
I hear it as well, and it confused me at first
The line is quippy, but it’s silly when you look at the batman stories. Anything can be funny if you get reductionist with it
When the writers have her saving plants, they do it in a way that you root for her. Same with Mr. Freeze, those episodes and the movie is really touching, solely because of his motivation.
You don’t root for batman to beat them up or flex his wealth on them, you want Batman to help them. You want them both to get happy endings.
The stories usually end with batman stopping the carnage, while also arresting whatever CEO was cutting down trees or doing experiments on Nora. In other stories, he funds social programs and advocates for reforms as Bruce Wayne.
Maybe there are other stories where he acts like a frat boy. I skip content that has shitty writing
I’m open to trying out things outside my requirements, so I’ll look into some of these. Thank you!
I didn’t know the metal socket types ones existed
The one you have looks decent, I’ll keep that on my list of potential options.
I appreciate the recommendation! Weird I haven’t tried this before, I like it :)
Edit: I like ‘Ghost at Number One’
Man must pay for all his misdeeds. When the treetops are stripped of their leaves whoaaaa ohhhhh
